Tremendous!

I was listening to TVG on XM at lunchtime, and someone had emailed in a comment to the effect that no way were they going to bet on a jock who hadn't been on a horse in such a long time.

Congrats, Tony. I look forward to hearing about it on ATR.

Congrats, Tony! I too love listening to you on ATR, you're what helps make this sport great.

You're turning into an "icon", Tony!

Way to go, Tony - -

I remember cashing a nice wager when you rode Dave's Friend, one of my all-time favorites, to victory in the 1981 Bold Ruler Hdcp ---

Keep up the great work......

I heard Tony pick up another win a little while ago on Mightyville in the 3rd at Parx. Congrats, Tony!
